some stuff about the practice of ancestor veneration in velothi households
when a baby is born a grandparent or parent anoints it with ash from the hearth and introduces it to the house spirits by showing it to the waiting-door. the family member presenting the baby might also ask a particular spirit to serve as the baby's cardehn (ancestor-guardian); that ancestor is then expected to keep a close eye on the baby throughout its life and offer guidance, counsel, or protection when needed
on the other hand many families hold off on petitioning a specific ancestor to act as a newborn's cardehn so that the baby is free to choose for itself once it's old enough to decide. many children without an appointed cardehn wait until the passing of a close loved one (usually a family elder) and choose them
after your family's patron god and any very prominent or recently-deceased ancestors your cardehn is the first household spirit whom you're expected to invoke in prayer. when you're old enough you're also expected to take charge of the family's veneration of that particular ancestor by burning routine offerings for them
when a member of the household is dying a simple meal is set out in the room in which they're being tended; after the family member passes on their caretakers and any others who kept vigil at the deathbed eat half of the meal they'd prepared. the other half is burnt as an offering for the spirit or spirits who came to help the deceased "through the fire" (fire, particularly one's hearthfire, being considered a passage between the realms of life and death in the velothi consciousness)
when mourning a loved one it's customary in some families to cut off a lock of your hair and burn it as an offering in addition to the usual offerings of food. cutting and burning all of one's hair is a wild expression of grief that's usually only performed by people who have lost a loved one unexpectedly or parents who have lost a child
Hi friend!!!
Do you take commissions or Art trades? I love your art style so much :))
I promised myself not to feel pressured to draw unitl I'm done with my exam session at the end of June (and yet I procrastinate by drawing, heh). But if you don't mind the waiting - then sure :)
Does sleeping on your books bestow you with additional knowledge?
Well, if you lag behind too much everything's worth trying, I guess.

I... I just can't make an artwork with a simple, easy-to-pull-off lighting, OK? That's beyond my mental abilities.
POV: You were meant to do your chores and organize the alchemy ingredients… but you suddenly discover that some of them are increeeeeeedibly tasty!
Whoops, looks like your mum won't be able to prepare her special order with those rare, imported berries anytime soon.

I drew an art of @katastronoot 's Rheavie - but this time she's more mischievous than usual :)
Oh my gosh I'd love to see the fellowship at a gas station! Merry and Pippin would get the weirdest and most tooth rotting snacks. Boromir (ultimate cool dad friend) is staring out the window getting angrier and angrier as he watches all the transport trucks that he just spent 4 hours passing drive ahead of them. Frodo got left behind because while Boromir was rushing everyone to the car, he was still standing at the travel book shelves, reading the sumeries for every single one trying to pick a good one for the rest of the trip. Sam was waiting with him.Gandalf didn't notice that they weren't there because he was asleep in the car and no one wanted to wake him.
And Pippin and Merry see a cute dog in a motorcycle side-car, and after jumping in to pet it, they get accidentally kidnapped by a biker gang, who don't realize they're there until three states later
May you enjoy cosy cuddles like this happy cat family 🥺
